Can I Sue if the Employer Lied about why I was Fired?

Have you recently been fired? Don’t be too quick to assume you have no legal claims against your former employer, regardless of why you were fired or what they said. Even employees who are fired for cause might be able to prove wrongful termination, in the right circumstances.

It’s not illegal for an employer to fire an employee, even for a reason that seems unfair or unjustified. Unfortunately, an employer can even legally lie about the reason for termination. However, the employer cannot legally fire anyone for a reason that breaches a contract or violates the law. If the real reason for terminating an employee is discrimination, retaliation, employee whistle-blowing, or other protected activity, the termination is then wrongful.
